Thoseghar waterfalls in Satara during the monsoon

As monsoon is the best time of year to visit Western Ghats and Hill stationnear by Pune to view breathtaking waterfalls and scenic greenery which attracts most of the tourists to Pune.

Thoseghar is one of the famous picnic spot for waterfalls in Satara, which is around 153 Km from Pune, which can be easily travel by bike if you love long drives.

How to go to Thoseghar waterfalls from Pune(Wakad): Travel on NH4 (towards Bangalore) till you reach Satara. Take a right towards Satara town and at the end of the town towards left you will find a small tunnel. Once you cross the tunnel you will find a T Junction. Take the road towards right and keep travelling till you find Sajjangad fort exit. Keep going on the same road which lead to Thoseghar waterfalls and Chalkewadi windmills farm.

We started from Pune at around 8am and visit the Thoseghar waterfalls at 12:00pm. Road to Thoseghar from Satara was incredibly scenic and it goes from the edge of the mountains. Below are some photos of my trip.

After Thoseghar waterfalls we visit Chalkewadi wind farm which is around 2Km from Thoseghar waterfalls.We always love travelling back from different route so select the most scenic route which we have ever seen via Satara-Mahabaleshwar State Highway. This State Highway was much better than the NH4 with potholes.

Excellent Satara-Mahabaleshwar State Highway
